"The second democratic change of government after the dramatic "People Power Revolution" in 1986, transferred the reins of power from President Fidel V. Ramos to Joseph E. Estrada in June 1998. Once again, the Philippines became a showcase of democracy and a symbol of stability in the Asian region, which was still dominated by monarchies, strong-man rule, and dictatorships. Thus, as the world saw the transfer of power peacefully handed down from one leader to another, through democratic elections and the rule of law, the Philippines glowed as a beacon of hope and freedom for the world.
The historic celebration of the Centennial of Philippine Nationhood in 1996-98 also saw the recollections of one hundred years of our history, including memorable reenactments of the highlights of the movement to establish the nation -- famous battles, martyrdoms, etc. The country was historically reawakened, as the National Centennial Commission, the National Historical Institute, the National Library, the Department of Education and other agencies engaged in the most intensive and extensive round of activities to commemorate the nation's historical events.
In 1998, the culmination of this celebration of the Centennial was the June 12th parade and evening fireworks at the Luneta, which was participated in by people even in the provinces, through radio and television coverage. All throughout the day, the radio and television stations featured Filipino music and programs meant to recall all our yesterdays. It was, as everyone agreed, a "Day to Remember".
What was even more remarkable was that, in the year of the Centennial, 1998, the Philippines had two presidents, one the outgoing President Ramos, a military general and one of the "heroes of the People Power Revolution," and the other a popular actor-politician, President Estrada, the "man of the masses".
Hence, we present this new edition of this popular book, to update the data in the previous edition, and to include the most memorable events of the last few years. None of the historians, including my late father Dr. Gregorio F. Zaide, could have anticipated the renaissance of history in this country. We had all hoped that our people would always remember the sacrifices and heroism of our glorious past. But in the last few decades, it seemed that economic and material values had blinded our youths and our national leaders to forget our historical and cultural importance. However, the Centennial celebrations changed all that, and history once again touched the hearts and minds of our people, especially the young. We note the new hunger for knowledge of our past, and the interest to find out more about our history. This will redound to the good of all our futures."
